Highway assets in your area The council keeps an inventory of its highway assets in order to assist planning its highway maintenance. Important statistics relating to your board area are: Asset Type Measure Carriageway 188.87km Footways adjacent to road 104km Footways (linked) 13.55km White road centre lines 55km Road kerbs 138km Grass verge (maintained) 272 km Drainage grips 1,045 number Drainage pipe grips 86 number Drainage gullies 4,094 number Road signs 1,310 number Street lights 2,531 number 2 Calne Area Board Highway Information Major highway maintenance Road resurfacing Wiltshire has over 3,000 miles of road. The Council’s ‘Local Highways Investment Fund 2014 – 2020’ is making a massive investment to improve the condition of the roads in Wiltshire over six years. The programme of work started in April 2014, and is designed and supervised by the Council’s consultants Atkins, with the work carried out by our main highway contractors Tarmac and Eurovia. The work carried out in the first two years of the programme has improved a considerable number of the roads in previously poor condition. The locations of sites treated in recent years are shown below. Carriageway repairs As well as resurfacing roads other works are undertaken to make localised repairs to keep the roads safe. The works undertaken in your area since 2014 are shown on the map below. The wet winter and flooding in previous years has resulted in substantial damage to the road network. It is important that serious defects are treated promptly to keep the roads safe. The Council currently operates four Pothole teams that respond to urgent issues to keep the roads safe. 3 Calne Area Board Highway Information Plan showing major maintenance schemes & hand/machine patching sites completed since 2014 4 Calne Area Board Highway Information Major maintenance completed since 2014 No Location Works The Turnpike junction with The Common, south to Heddington to 54 Church Road junction Surface Dressing Church Road, Heddington into Hampsley Road into Stockley 55 Road to junction with Stockley Hollow Surface Dressing 56 Unnamed road - Foxham north C132 to B4069 Surface Dressing 119 Mons Lane east to Bewley Lane junction to A342 Devizes Road Surface Dressing 57 The Common (Heddington Wick to junction with Broads Green) Surface Dressing Lye Common (junction with Station Road to junction with Thorn 58 end) Surface Dressing 59 Foxham east C111 to near junction Catcomb Surface Dressing 60 Hare Street (junction West End to junction Charlcutt) Surface Dressing Mauds Heath Causeway (junction Mauds Heath Causeway north 61 to Avon to junction with Hare Street) Surface Dressing 62 Wick Hill (junction Maud Heaths Causeway to Monument Farm) Surface Dressing Fishers Brook (junction Beversbrook Road to junction Dumb Post 63 Hill) Surface Dressing 64 Old Road, Studley Resurfacing 65 The Rise, Fairway, Charlieu Avenue & Bay Close, Calne Resurfacing 66 Wessington Park, Calne Resurfacing Top of Bencroft Hill north-east C112 through Bremhill to Low 67 Bridge Surface Dressing 68 Unnamed road - Corton Surface Dressing Skid Resistance 69 Tossels Farm Entrance to Pillars Lodge Entrance Improvements Skid Resistance 70 Roundabout 2 To Oxford Road Roundabout Calne Bypass Improvements Skid Resistance 71 Roundabout 2 To Oxford Road Roundabout Calne Bypass Improvements Skid Resistance 72 Entrance To Kennels Lodge To unclassified road Nash Hill Improvements 5 Calne Area Board Highway Information No Location Works 73 Abberd Way, Calne Resurfacing 74 Brewers Lane, Calne Resurfacing 75 Cox's Hill, Calne Resurfacing 76 Freeth Lane, Compton Bassett Resurfacing 77 Highway Common, Compton Bassett Surface Dressing Skid Resistance 78 Widcombe Mill Xrds To Goatacre Lane Improvements Skid Resistance 79 C136 Church Road To 40mph Calne Improvements Skid Resistance 80 Compton Bassett To Church Road Improvements Skid Resistance 81 Greenacres Way Roundabout to entrance of Cowage Farm Improvements A3102 Curzon Streat Mini-roundabout to A3102 Silver Sreet Skid Resistance 82 mini-roundabout Improvements Skid Resistance 83 Pillars Lodge Entrance to Roundabout at Sports Centre Improvements Skid Resistance 84 Broads Green To Tossels Farm Entrance To Tossels Farm Improvements Skid Resistance 85 Back Lane To Broads Green Improvements Skid Resistance 86 A342 Old Derry Hilll Improvements Skid Resistance 144 A3102/A342 To Back Lane Improvements 87 Calne By-Pass Resurfacing Skid Resistance 88 Tossels Farm Entrance To Pillars Lodge Entrance Improvements 89 The Rise, Calne Resurfacing 90 A4 Curzon Street, Calne Resurfacing 6 Calne Area Board Highway Information Highway conditions and technical surveys in your area Roads deteriorate in condition because of various factors, including traffic volumes, ground conditions, and weather and drainage issues. Technical surveys of the condition of the highway network are carried out annually and the information is used to help prioritise schemes. Road safety is the priority, and maintaining adequate skid resistance on the busy high speed roads is vital. The surveys include the use of a vehicle equipped with lasers and cameras to record road surface condition, which allows us to report on road conditions to the Department for Transport and to prioritise maintenance work. Other surveys include measuring skid resistance on the busier roads. The road conditions in your area are shown below. It should be noted that low numbers are good because it indicates that less road length should be considered for treatment.

The schemes range in size and complexity from simple sign installation through to more complex road safety and improvement schemes. Bridges The Council regularly inspects its bridges and other highway structures. There is a programme of renewal and refurbishment works to keep them in good condition, as well as having to respond to damage caused by collisions. Drainage Programmes of drainage investigations, repairs and flood alleviation schemes are undertaken throughout the year, but the flooding in recent years has meant that there has been a need to respond immediately to flooding issues, as well as dealing with previously identified problem sites. The drainage improvement and flood alleviation work is co-ordinated through the Council’s Operational Flood Working Groups that include the Environment Agency, Wessex Water, other organisations and stakeholders.
